About the Wallpaper

We are proud to offer over forty designs hand printed in the United States in a curated range of color ways. Our papers are printed to order with most shipping within a couple of weeks. Often we print overage and have available inventory in popular styles for quicker shipping. Please consult the individual product pages for design specific lead times, as some designs take longer to go through the production process. Custom coloring is available for an additional setup fee.

How to Measure

We recommend consulting your installer to ensure enough paper is ordered for your project. You may also contact us directly via email or phone for an estimate. Please have your measurements ready in feet and inches, or meters. To get a general idea of how many rolls you need, use the formulas below.

[feet + inches]

We recommend measuring with a steel tape measure. Make your measurements in feet and round off to the next half foot or foot. Measure the wall height from the floor to the ceiling, excluding any baseboards or moldings. Then measure the length of the wall without deducting for windows or doors (this will leave you extra wallpaper in case you may need it). Multiply the two measurements to find the surface area of the wall.

Single rolls of our paper are 15 feet long, but widths generally vary from 27 – 28 inches, with a few even less. 1 roll in theory covers about 30 square feet, but 1 roll will only cover 1 drop on a standard 8 foot wall [about 16 square feet]. To find the number of rolls needed to cover your wall, multiply the height and the width of the wall by rounding up each length to the nearest foot. Then divide by 30.

Example: For a wall that is 10 feet 6 inches high by 9 feet 4 inches long. Round up and multiply 11 feet by 10 feet to get 110 square feet. Divide 110 by 30 and you will get 3.6. In this case you will need 5 rolls.

If the number divides out to be .5 or above, you will need to add one more roll on to be safe. If you were to get 3.4, 4 rolls would be enough, but if you get 3.5 to 4.4, you will need 5 rolls.

As the number of rolls increases beyond 10, you should factor in at least 5 – 10% for install error, as well as to have matching wallpaper [from the same run!] should panels become damaged over time and need replacing. Your installer is the best person to consult for ordering properly.

If you are unsure, please contact us before making a purchase.

[meters]

a. Measure the wall in meters, rounding up to the nearest 1/2 meter. For example, 4.3 meters should round to 4.5 meters.

b. Multiply the length of the wall by the height of the wall to get the area; do not subtract for windows, doors etc.

c. Divide by 2.75. For numbers x.01 – x.4, round up to next whole number. For example, if you get 4.3, you need 5 rolls. For numbers x.5 – x.99, round up and add one. For example, if you get 4.5, you need 6 rolls. This is to account for the vertical design match which is typically around 1 meter tall and the pattern must match side to side.

As the number of rolls increases beyond 10, you should factor in at least 5 – 10% for install error, as well as to have matching wallpaper [from the same run!] should panels become damaged over time and need replacing. Your installer is the best person to consult for ordering properly.

If you are unsure, please contact us before making a purchase.
